Woodrafff
Daily Racing
50 WIN
@+175
Lose
-50
When this stable sends them out again quickly it's usually worth giving them a strong chance, and WOODRAFFF ticks that box here. Looks well handicapped and the most likely winner.
18:00 6:00 Southwell
Electric Avenue
Daily Racing
25 EWNAP
@+1800
Lose
-50
ELECTRIC AVENUE has been tried over eight and nine furlongs the last few times, so is considered back at seven furlongs here. Looks potentially well handicapped and has stronger claims than some at shorter prices, so perhaps we've got some value here. Looks like the front-runner, which can pay dividends here at Southwell.

If I Am Simba is kept in for this after running yesterday, I would imagine some support would be likely, as connections must fancy the chances from a mark that is potentially workable. I think it's likely he comes out, though.
14:25 2:25 Uttoxeter
Santos Blue
Daily Racing
25 EWNBNOTENon runners at 10.0 or more so no R4 deduction
@+2000
Win
75
SANTOS BLUE has been competitive since transferring stables to Olly Murphy from Dan Skelton. Found one too good in a Premier Handicap at Sandown at the end of January and is considered if progressing from that run. Has won on softer ground before and has place claims for connections that have a good record at Uttoxeter.

Nells Son
Daily Racing
25 EW
@+5000
Lose
-50
Nell's Son is getting on a bit but is considered to be returning to hurdling here. He ran well at Carlisle on seasonal debut from six pounds higher in the weights. Not really impactful in chasing since that Carlisle run, but maybe the return to hurdling is what is required. There's a chance of a big place return if he hits the top four.
12:30 Middlesbrough v Bristol City
Bristol City
50 WIN
@+600
Lose
-50
Just two wins from the last six for Middlesbrough, and their automatic promotion hopes are being derailed. This is not a gimme for Boro, and there's value in the visitors.

Pessoa
Daily Racing
50 WIN
@+250
Lose
-50
A bit like the other Wolverhampton pick, PESSOA is thrown in quickly here, is running true and should well win this one. Certainly looks the one to beat.
19:10 7:10 Wolverhampton
Zu Run
Daily Racing
25 EWNAP
@+1600
Lose
-50
Zu Run is considered at this price as he's back at a circuit where he's been competitive before and is now lighter in the weights. He has potentially got what it takes to get involved at this price. Was a better run last time out and is now against lesser opponents, so he might be able to bounce back into form here.
18:20 6:20 Southwell
Brazilian Rose
Daily Racing
50 WIN
@+300
Win
150
Brazilian Rose is running well at the moment and looks to be in with a great shout of landing the prize money. Worthy of the punt.

Act Of Authority
Daily Racing
25 EWNOTEBest Odds Guaranteed SP 15.00 used instead of 12.00 takenBOG
@+1400
Win
45
Lewis Saunders combines well when taking on Olly Murphy's charges, so the challenge of Act of Authority needs to be taken seriously here. Could be a real threat to land the last of the festival.
16:40 4:40 Cheltenham
Solitary Man
Daily Racing
25 EW
@+1400
Lose
-50
With the point-to-point successes and competitiveness in the hunter chasers too, Solitary Man looks good enough to get involved in this one.
16:25 4:25 Wolverhampton
Charlies Choice
Daily Racing
50 WIN
@+400
Lose
-50
CHARLIE'S CHOICE is running very well at the moment, so has the ability. I think it has more chance of winning this than Brasil Power. Should be the favorite for me.
16:00 4:00 Cheltenham
Gaelic Warrior
Daily Racing
50 WIN
@+400
Win
200
It could well be a Mullins day today, and I just think he lands at least a couple of the biggies. Gaelic Warrior is good enough to land the Gold Cup prize. It should be a closely contested one, though.
15:20 3:20 Cheltenham
Doctor Steinberg
Daily Racing
50 WIN
@+300
Lose
-50
Doctor Steinberg represents a great chance for a quick-fire Mullins double here. It was a tasty race he cosily won last time out, and he looks the best of this bunch.
14:40 2:40 Cheltenham
Dinoblue
Daily Racing
50 WIN
@+162
Win
81
Could be a favs day in some of the bigger races, and Dinoblue looks the best of these. The only real threat comes from the stablemate, who I just don't think is better, and the Skelton horse. Again, I think he doesn't quite have the ability to win this.
14:00 2:00 Cheltenham
Jubilee Alpha
Daily Racing
25 EWNB
@+2000
Lose
-50
Jubilee Alpha is given a whirl as it looks a better horse than last year's eighth and could well improve here, which makes it a decent each-way shot.
13:20 1:20 Cheltenham
Highland Crystal
Daily Racing
50 WIN
@+450
Lose
-50
Highland Crystal was very impressive in recording the listed win in Ireland the run before last, so is expected to improve enough to overcome these.

Concert Boy

CONCERT BOY the other one to keep an eye on in this race. Just seems to be there or thereabouts and could land a race sooner or later in this kind of shape.
Finn Ironside
Daily Racing
25 EWNAPNOTENon runners at 10.0 or more so no R4 deduction
@+3300
Win
140
Bounce-back potential for the well-drawn Finn Ironside here, who comes back to a Class 6 from exactly the same mark and grade as when winning here in August. He stepped up in grade unsuccessfully after that but now comes up against lesser opposition and lurks at a dangerous mark. Big chance of at least a place return from this stall.
18:00 Linda Noskova vs Talia Gibson
Talia Gibson
Win Match
50 WIN
@+275
Lose
-50
Gibson looks a decent value bet here. Noskova is not one of the elite left in the draw, and with the Australian making a big impact at the moment, she might have one more win in her.

WEVEALLBEENCAUGHT was in amongst it last year when just making the error towards the last and can hopefully build on the experience and at least place again this time round. Looks in better nick 12 months further on too.
16:40 4:40 Cheltenham
Electric Mason
Daily Racing
50 WIN
@+900
Lose
-50
Electric Mason seems to love these kinds of big-field handicaps and looks a solid improver with a strong each-way chance if continuing the progression.
14:00 2:00 Cheltenham
The Bluesman
Daily Racing
25 EW
@+1400
Lose
-50
I think you have to take notice when Olly Murphy gets them hot. After a successful switch to chasing, The Bluesman looks capable of stepping up to the big occasion here.
07:30 Alina Charaeva vs Elina Avanesyan
Alina Charaeva
Win Match
50 WIN
@+150
Win
75
Charaeva has made a slow start to the season, but she is the much higher-ranked player and generally better on clay. This is a big price for her.
07:30 Carole Monnet vs Dominika Salkova
Carole Monnet
Win Match
50 WIN
@+195
Win
98
Monnet's form is picking up to the degree that she could advance in this one. Salkova is not really at her best of late, and this could be really close.
07:30 Maja Chwalinska vs Tamara Zidansek
Tamara Zidansek
Win Match
50 WIN
@+250
Win

These two look in pretty similar form, so Zidansek is a big price to land this one. It looks like it'll be a closer contest than this line suggests.
02:10 HOU Rockets @ DEN Nuggets
HOU Rockets
Money Line
50 WIN
@+250

-50
Houston have the better record and are in better form, so should probably be backed at this price against a Nuggets team that are a little inconsistent of late.

Bajan Bandit
Daily Racing
25 EWNB
@+2500
Lose
-50
Bajan Bandit has fallen away a touch since a solid-looking spell before Christmas, but given a look at this price there's definitely rebound potential, especially in this grade. Avoids the low draw and is considered each-way. Billy Loughnane can hardly be a bad booking in the saddle either after yesterday's exploits.
18:30 6:30 Newcastle
Renesmee
Daily Racing
50 WIN
@+350
Lose
-50
Renesmee might be able to go in again here, with the claimer taking off the weight for the last-time-out win. Big chance, as clearly in the peak of form at the moment.
18:00 Novak Djokovic vs Jack Draper
Jack Draper
Win Match
50 WIN
@+110
Win
55
Draper has come back from injury absolutely flying, and I think he'll be good enough to take care of Djokovic here. He's obviously been patient with the injury, and he has the ability to win this.
18:00 Rinky Hijikata vs Cameron Norrie
Rinky Hijikata
Win Match
50 WIN
@+229
Lose
-50
This could be one step too far for Norrie. He's had a great run so far but was out of form prior to this tournament, and the efforts will be taking their toll. Hijikata is in decent form and could nick this in three.
16:40 4:40 Cheltenham
Relieved Of Duties
Daily Racing
25 EW
@+1400
Lose
-50
Relieved of Duties didn't have the clearest round of jumping when last seen here, but could be a player now he's got the experience and there's each-way claims.
14:40 2:40 Cheltenham
Beckett Rock
Daily Racing
50 WIN
@+2500
Lose
-50
Pretty sure I was with Beckett Rock at last year's Festival, and there's still plenty to like about him back here again. One pound lighter than a sixth-place finish in the Coral Cup at last year's Festival, and he took a step back in the right direction over in Ireland last time out.
Chart Topper
Daily Racing
25 EW
@+3300
Lose
-50
Chart Topper is also considered, as this distance should be fine and he was running well in a Pertemps qualifier last time out before falling late. He has been fine in listed company over in Ireland and can cope in this environment.
14:00 2:00 Cheltenham
Romeo Coolio
Daily Racing
50 WIN
@+275
Lose
-50
Romeo Coolio should win this if we get a clear run. Saw off Kargese last time out and looks the clear pick of Day Two alongside Majborough.
13:38 1:38 Huntingdon
Edna E Mode
Daily Racing
25 EWNAP
@+3300
Lose
-50
Edna E Mode is forgiven for the no-show last time out, which was her first trip since last May. She ended a progressive season with some positive showings at Ludlow and Worcester, and she's lighter in the weights now. She will come on from the last run and, hopefully, will be in the mix with conditions being optimal.
13:20 1:20 Cheltenham
Skylight Hustle
Daily Racing
25 EW
@+1600
Lose
-50
Eye-catching runs for Skylight Hustle the last twice, and comfortably coped in this sort of grade at Leopardstown last time out. This will require more, but there's still plenty of scope for further improvement.
03:00 Alexandra Eala vs Linda Noskova
Alexandra Eala
Win Match
50 WIN
@+160
Lose
-50
Eala really came of age last season and I think she could be good enough to get a result of this standard and extend her run at this tournament.
02:10 CHA Hornets @ POR Trail Blazers
POR Trail Blazers
Money Line
50 WIN
@+135
Lose
-50
This looks pretty even, and with Portland having the home advantage, they look a decent-value play to nick this one.
00:37 ANA Ducks @ WPG Jets
ANA Ducks
Money Line
50 WIN
@+120
Win
60
Ducks now lead their division and seem to be in great form, so they are given a spin at this price as Winnipeg might not be able to cope with them.

Stoke drifting a touch in the table but might be good enough to take a match like this under the floodlights, they pushed Coventry all the way recently too
19:45 Barnsley v Cardiff
Barnsley
50 WIN
@+275
Lose
-50
BArnsley have won three of the last five and could claim this contest as they've done their fair share of winning of late.
19:45 Gillingham v Milton Keynes Dons
Gillingham
50 WIN
@+250
Lose
-50
Gillingham proving tricky to beat at home, so might be good enough to cause the upset and derail MK Dons' automatic hopes here.
19:45 Mansfield v Reading
Reading
50 WIN
@+229
Lose
-50
After the lords mayor's show for Mansfield following the Arsenal cup game and we cashed in on Reading int heir last match. They are taken to continue their form.
19:45 Stevenage v Leyton Orient
Leyton Orient
50 WIN
@+400
Win
200
Orient in dire a need of a win here to boost their failing fortunes and they might be good enough to nick this against a Stevenage side that I think misses out on the play-offs.
19:00 7:00 Wolverhampton
Bernie The Bear
Daily Racing
50 WIN
@+1100
Lose
-50
Bernie the Bear showed some spark the run before last. With that kind of run here, there's a chance he might spring a surprise in this weak-looking affair.
19:00 Paula Badosa vs Elena Gabriela Ruse
Elena Gabriela Ruse
Win Match
50 WIN
@+125
Lose
-50
Ruse looks to be in better form and is taken to land this contest. She looks to be a better punt at this price and could well win this.
18:45 6:45 Southwell
The Fixer
Daily Racing
25 EW
@+2800
Lose
-50
The Fixer is considered back at the venue, where he finished second and third from five pounds higher in the handicap in November and December. Subsequent runs were in Class Four, and after a 40-day break I'm prepared to write those off. This looks a much more viable prospect against weaker opposition.
18:00 Victoria Mboko vs Amanda Anisimova
Victoria Mboko
Win Match
50 WIN
@+137
Win
69
We saw Mboko break through at times last year, and I think if she's at the peak of her game, she has the ability to win this first-ever match between the two players.
17:20 5:20 Cheltenham
Wade Out
Daily Racing
25 EW
@+800

Olly Murphy has great form with the stayers, especially when upping them in trip, so Wade Out is given a solid each-way punt here.

Riskintheground
Daily Racing
25 EWNB
@+4000
Lose
-50
RISKINTHEGROUND returns to the last winning mark and seems to thrive in this kind of scenario. He wasn't far away when running in the Coral Cup at Newbury in November and the Summer Plate at Market Rasen. So there's some ability there if he rediscovers the spark back at the favoured track. Harry Skelton opts for the stable hot-thing Madara, but I'd rather go each-way on this one at this price.

Now BRIGHTERDAYSAHEAD has had the Cheltenham experience, I think there's every chance she continues the hold she has over Lossiemouth (who she's beaten the last twice), and she has the chance to win the big one here.

Search For Glory
Daily Racing
25 EWNAP
@+4000
Lose
-50
Search For Glory was seventh in this last year from two pounds higher in the weights and arrives in better form for this attempt, having finished second in the Leopardstown Paddy Power Chase just after Christmas. James Smith gets back in the saddle after two near misses in Ireland. If you are prepared to draw a line through the last-time-out run at Gowran, we could have an outsider that gets involved at the business end of this one.

Manlaga
Daily Racing

@+700

Manlaga is given worthy each-way consideration here, with Nicky Henderson's stable bang in form and him being the first choice for the stable. He's unlikely to be far away.
14:00 2:00 Cheltenham
Steel Ally
Daily Racing
50 WIN
@+1200
Lose
-50
STEEL ALLY is three for three in recent races. One of those races saw three of the four horses beaten in the Noel Novices at Ascot go on to win. I think we can upgrade that to a victory, and there are place claims here.
13:20 1:20 Cheltenham
Sober Glory
Daily Racing
50 WIN
@+1100
Lose
-50
I just don't think we've seen the definite ceiling from Sober Glory yet. Although this is an open meeting with quality, there's every chance he can get at least a place here.

Guiomar Maristany Zuleta De Reales
Win Match
50 WIN
@+139

Kudermetova has struggled on clay up to now and might miss this chance to advance here. Her opponent appears to have a statistical edge and is taken at the price.
07:30 Katarzyna Kawa vs Despina Papamichail
Despina Papamichail
Win Match
50 WIN
@+139
Lose
-50
Kawa has made a poor start to the season, and with Papamichail in good nick on this surface, I think she's a value play at this price and is worth taking as a value bet.
02:10 NY Knicks @ LA Clippers
LA Clippers
Money Line

With the home advantage and slightly better form over the last ten matches, I think the Clippers deserve due consideration to pick up the W here.
